Why don't they sell human milk in the stores?

Answer 1

because its a bodily fluid and can pass disease among other things

Answer 2

There are human milk banks where people who are unable to breastfeed can obtain human milk to feed to their preemie babies, but unfortunately to number of donors and milk banks is not sufficient to supply all of the needs.

In an 'ideal' world, stores would sell human milk, pasteurised and screened (in the infant nutrition aisle) as this would be a far superior source of nutrition for babies whose mothers could not or did not want to breast feed.

The funny thing is, why is everyone so grossed out by this - I mean you drink the breast milk from ANOTHER SPECIES! how gross is that?

Answer 3

It would be better than the toxic commercial cows milk they are selling, thats full of steroids and growth hormones. But think about it, most people would be grossed out drinking some womans breast milk, but they don't think twice about drinking it from a cow thats raised in horrid conditions. Strange

Answer 4

Dude, do you know how awkward and slave-like it would be to be milked? Honestly, do you think any women really wants to be eternally pregnant? Can you honestly say that you could and would drink that milk? I doubt it. That's my answer, enbodied in a question.

Answer 5

Good question...it's even better for you than cows' or goats' milk.
Maybe because not many would want to drink it, so the company wouldn't make much of a profit ?

Answer 6

You can buy some of mine if you would like. I have a few ounces stored in the deep freezer.

Answer 7

Dude, what is it with you and human milk?? Did your mother not breast feed you when you were little?

Answer 8

do you know how long it takes for women to express milk, about a teaspoon in half hour, it would be way to expensive, and gross!

Answer 9

I would only sell it straight from the spout.

Answer 10

yes and human body parts too

Answer 11

What is this obsession you have with Women's milk
